Lady Fevre Dream Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 21 hours ago, The Fattest Leech said: Yes, yes, yes. I was just having a similar conversation with another last evening. You can tell a great deal in the writing style from George himself over his time writing and developing his craft. He has his own voice the same way any author does. A change in author would be noticed by line #2. In general, I can't find the article at the moment, but remember when JK Rowling wrote under the pseudonym Richard Galbraith? Readers figured it out rather quickly because of the style and verbiage used. Story telling is much more than just words on paper. No ghost writer for my vote. LOL Stephen King's Richard Bachman. There was so much about those writings that screamed out KING, KING, KING!! Thought I'd do a bit of Mormont's Raven there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lannister Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 It wouldn't bother me too much. If Martin wants some help, he's earned it. It's still his product and nothing is getting published that he doesn't sign off on. Plus there's no rule saying that someone else can't write something wonderful in his universe.

What might be pros and cons of employing ghostwriters be for GRRM personally, and for us as a community of readers? IMO Pro for George: Time for other projects Reduced stress Getting paid Cons Changing his creative process Giving up some control Perceived loss of quality Many members of this community have been waiting a long time to read this story. For me, the slow pace of releases makes me reluctant to invest time in GRRM's other work. I enjoy peripheral content like novellas and histories because they add depth and texture to the story. But, without that story in place they are like toppings without the pizza; I like them, but I'm not going to order them without a pizza underneath. Luckily, George does not care what any of us think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
